Today's Thought: |
 |
Take Shelter of Sri Guru and Sri Krishna
Uploaded from Kaunas, Lithuania | |
|
|
 There
is no reason to continue suffering in this material
existence. All you have to do to be completely blissful
all the time is to plug back into your actual eternal
identity as a servant of Krishna or God. This is done by
taking complete shelter of the divine instructions of
Lord Sri Krishna and His pure representative, the bona
fide spiritual master.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: Foreigners in ISKCON |
|
|
I am very upset because my
family members don't like ISKCON (the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness). They say that there
are a lot of foreigners in ISKCON and that foreigners
don't have the right to know about Indian religion. They
say that you have to be an Indian to know Indian
religion. I have also noticed that many Indian people
also have the same idea. They look at the whole thing
from the materialistic point of view. It pains me a lot.
Please, Gurudeva, advise me what to do.
Your servant,
G.N.

Answer: Real Indians Share
Their Culture |
|
|
How poignantly ironic it
is that they say that only Indians can know Indian
religion when they don't even know the first thing about
Indian religion. Not only is this ironic; it is
downright shameful. As descendents from the greatest
culture in the universe they should be doing their duty
of spreading the teachings of Lord Sri Krishna all over
the world to relieve the suffering world population from
the ever-tightening knot of illusion and confusion. But
when others come and do the duty that they are
neglecting they criticize them instead of appreciating
and assisting them. This is shockingly disgusting
misbehavior on their part.
Factually, it is the height of material consciousness to
say that only Indians have a right to know about Indian
religion. Any Indian who thinks like this is completely
ignorant about his own scriptures. The very first point
of the Vedic wisdom is that we are not these bodies,
that we are eternal spiritual beings existing beyond
these various bodily designations such as American and
Indian. Indian religion sees everyone equally as
confirmed by Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita wherein He
states that the learned man sees everyone equally.
The famous deity of the Supreme Lord in Jagannatha Puri
is known as Jagannatha, the lord of the entire universe.
He is not known as Hindunatha or Indiannatha. Since He
is Jagannatha, the Lord of the universe, He is
worshipable by all living beings throughout the entire
universe. He is not only meant for the Indians as is
thought by foolish people who are on the material bodily
platform who do not even understand the most basic
aspects of Indian religion.
You should tell your relatives that ISKCON is the best
ambassador of Indian's wonderful spiritual culture and
that if they are real Indians they will give up their
ridiculous non-Indian mentality and join ISKCON to dive
deeply into India's original culture and share this
greatest of all treasures with the world.
